Product works as expected. I purchased additional nibs and accessories for the wrong pen. The staff saw I made a mistake and shipped both pieces. The one I ordered incorrectly and the the one I needed. Awesome pen awesome people.

I bought the ebonite Milano some time back with the standard non flex ef or eef nib and wasn't too overwhelmed with the result. Today at the Dallas Pen Show I stopped by the Osprey table and was shown their updated nib/feed combos. I wanted to stick with ebonite and went with the EEF flex with ebonite feed. The two toned nib is quite attractive. This pen really has great potential now. The updating of the nib/feed really changed things. While the steel nib is not super sensitive to pressure the hairline you can achieve is just that... HAIR LINE thin. I also didn't have issue with ink flow. The ebonite feed is delivering just enough ink to the paper. No railroading experienced nor a wet mess pouring out of the nib. Serious copperplate will require a more sensitive nib for sure... perhaps their Zebra G equipped models. For "normal writing" with a bit of thick and thin their steel ultra flex nib is a good choice. Their EEF ultra flex is an easy nib to control. If you like to trail off your lettering with a super fine line that disappears into nothing the EEF is what you'll want. I would suggest it for fine detail pen and ink drawing too particularly for very fine cross hatching.

Works wonderfully

A very well designed pen.

It's clear what their philosophy was when they made this pen. Choice! One pen to rule them all.

Ink storage?
-Eye dropper, cartridge, or convertor. Plus you have the option whether to unscrew the barrel or the barrel's finial. Handy if topping off an eyedropper.

Nibs?
-They have many of their own, as well as the ability to fit any standard 6 nib into the nib unit. But, the nibs they sell are really amazing value. So smooth, and with a bit of bounce. Not like a nail at all. And with pressure I can get my medium to somewhere between a broad and a double broad width.

Ergonomics?
-I was worried that I would have to rest my fingers on the threads just above the section, but I actually naturally grasp it right at on the section. If the pen had been fitted with a shorter, size 5 nib, it would not be nearly as comfortable. When posted it becomes too back heavy, at least for my preference. Very well balanced otherwise.

Aesthetics?
-It is a plain pen in black+chrome, which is what I wanted. But that does not mean it is poorly made. It is shiny and well-polished. If you chose black+gold it would be quite elegant.

Value?
-Definitely. You cannot find an ebonite-bodied pen for this cheap unless you live in India. Plus, all of the nib-options (EEF to Broad, semi-flex nibs, Zebra-G) makes it easy to turn one pen into many.

Overall: Great pen, great design, and the company's dedication to getting handwriting back in schools is noteworthy.

I have had my Milanos, (2), for a few years now. While I own pens that cost 3x+ the price, they are still amongst my favorites. They always write smoothly and have excellent flow The only problem that I have ever had with one was when I went off on a trip with one and forgot to check the ink and my ink ran out. Is this pen worth the price? It is absolutely worth the price. it stacks up well with higher-priced pens and never fails to impress me with its presence.
